What's it like to get bit by a snake?
I am new to the Ball python hobby. I have never been bit, by any of my snakes, or any snakes I have handled over the years. What's it like to get bit by a ball python, or any other python or boa? I'm sure it's not so bad but would like to know, your experiences.
I have 7 Balls now and am waiting for the day it happens so I can finally put the mind to rest.

Re: What's it like to get bit by a snake?
depends what kinda bite:
the get away bite is like someone slapping or flicking your hand hard you may or may not get teeth.
the hungry bites hurt worse cuz they think you are food full on teeth and constriction. These hurt pretty bad if they get you good.

Re: What's it like to get bit by a snake?
I have a 2 year old BP and a baby BP. The 2 year old grazed me a few times was like a thump, not yet fully bit by her but the baby slapped at me and hung on for a few seconds. Thank god it was just the baby lol. It wasnt bad at all but I dont wanna find out what the 2 yr old feels like.

In my opinion, the shock value of actually having the snake strike at you and bite is what makes me jump. The bites usually aren't that bad. Of course, this only applies with smaller snakes... Having a Retic or Burm lounge at you is a whole nother' story.

I will await the day. Have any of you ever been bit bad by one of the larger boa's or pythons?
I had a fairly large burmese python 10 or so years back, she hissed lots but never striked.

Green tree pythons have the largest fangs in the python family,so i guess they hurt the most but i am a virgin also.
